So, we’re really doing this, huh? We’re actually witnessing people contemplate whether anyone other than Louisville QB Lamar Jackson is winning the Heisman Trophy? Okay…*sigh*…let’s get this out of the way. Now, don’t get me wrong, following Louisville’s second straight loss of the season in the season finale vs. Kentucky, I had my doubts. I thought that a couple of great performances by Washington’s Jake Browning or Alabama’s Jalen Hurts could very possibly bump Jackson aside. However,...Continue reading »

Montrezl Harrell enjoyed a dunking barrage en route to defeating the hottest team in the NBA.
Some of the greatest memories Louisville Cardinals fans have of Montrezl Harrell typically include major dunks and posterizations handed upon poor opponents’ souls.
Now in the NBA, “Monsta Trez” is doing plenty of the same — to greater opponents.
On Thursday evening, the Houston Rockets faced the NBA’s top squad — the Golden State Warriors — which features Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond...Continue reading »

Edgar Sosa is taking his game to a new level in Italy by showcasing a newfound prolific scoring ability.

Since moving onto international league play, Edgar Sosa has become a more complete player. Though he may never be the biggest player on the court, he has improved in all facets of the game. Now, he is setting new heights to his professional basketball career. Recently,...Continue reading »

If there are two things about the College Football Playoff committee that have been consistent, it’s that they love brand name football and do not like Louisville. Like, at all. The committee released their updated rankings Tuesday night, and following back to back losses to Houston and Kentucky, Louisville, who was #5 just two weeks ago, fell to #13. A team who they beat by 43 points earlier in the season and is behind Louisville in the ACC standings, though, jumped them to #12. That’s right, the same Florida State team Louisville...Continue reading »

The sting from this epic late season collapse is still resonating, but it’s now time to look at the possibilities for the Cards in postseason play. Just two weeks ago the Cards were No. 5 in the CFB Playoff rankings, then the Houston debacle happened. No need to revisit Saturday’s embarrassment. And since UofL played their way of the Orange Bowl, they have a likely bowl destination in Orlando in either the Citrus against a team from the SEC and the Russell Athletic Bowl versus a team from the Big 12....Continue reading »

When Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich re-hired Bobby Petrino to be the football program’s head coach in 2014, the thought of his name being uttered in the same breath as a failed former coach like Steve Kragthorpe seemed beyond rational thought, but…well, here we are.
The Cards’ completion of their season collapse at home on senior day vs. 26-point underdog Kentucky 41-38 was certainly Kragthorpe-ian in nature. After a promising 2-minute opening drive that gave Louisville a 7-0 lead was soon followed by the...Continue reading »
